When your cars not driving quite like it should, often the problem lies within the suspension or the tires. Usually, there are some symptoms, and if you know about many of the more common symptoms that we see at Budget Brakes, you should be able to spot the problems before they turn into disasters. You’ll also be able to save a small fortune. We’ve taken a look at some of the problems we’ve recently encountered at Budget Brakes:
Car pulls to one side is actually a pretty common problem, and something that we see all too often when people head to stores other than Budget Brakes. 9 times out of 10 it’s all related to alignment. If you had it performed elsewhere, while it might be within tolerances, it could still need fine tuning or a full, four-wheel alignment at budget brakes. Other causes include a bad tire, or even a stuck brake (caliper).
Bouncy / Soft Suspension is a sign that your shocks / struts have problems. Often, we see this at Budget Brakes when customers bring in vehicles with aftermarket / performance parts that are made in China. A quick way to check is to push a corner of the car down and if it doesn’t ‘settle’ i.e. bounces a few times, you need to get your struts replaced at Budget Brakes.
Loose / Noisy Steering can be down to your power steering. Not so common, but every now and again a customer calls into Budget Brakes with one of these cases. If your steering feels weird – while it could be a problem with the suspension, it may be an issue with your power steering. Check the power steering tank is full, and if the problem persists, drop by Budget Brakes and we’ll see what we can do.
